Now's the time to pick up ornaments and other items that you won't find during the year, and especially if you find them on sale. Hobby Lobby is great to have items on sale, before the season and I found this uber-cute ballerina among the ornaments. Wow! She looks just like a sweet little girl named Addie (Addison) who is the daughter of a good friend of ours. Her daddy is probably the person who can make me laugh like no other. In fact, our group movie nights or visits usually end up with my returning to a "giggle box" as my dad used to call me. This little Sugar Plum Fairy box is another project made using a cigar box.
The bon bons and other sugary treats are all stamped and heavily glittered. Then they are placed in the box using dimensionals. One of the pictures was taken at an angle to attempt to show there is depth to the elements. My photography skills are not so good and the photos do not show some details.
The background is a piece of cardstock which was sponged with shades of pink, soft green, and aqua to look "dreamy" and kind of like sherbet, but again the photos do not show that detail.
Because our friend is a single dad I am making this little theatre box for Addie to keep at his home. He has brought so much laughter and friendship to our lives. His eyes light up every time he talks about Addie, his little Sugar Plum Fairy Princess! And the little ballerina does look just like her!!!
